Storm could cause heavy wind and flooding through Pacific Northwest

Forecasters say a trail of turbulent weather, including storms of heavy rain and wind, is set to barrel through the region and cause possible flooding throughout the Pacific Northwest.

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch Sunday for the Portland Metro area, the North Oregon coastal range, and much of Southwest Washington, warning of many possible inches of rainfall, which could cause flooding by Monday or Tuesday.
